OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Good evening, made yet another day with out contact. This is killing me..  I understand no news is good news, yet, after not being apart for 19 years, this is rough. 

I also have a very pretentious father  that has literally called me EVERY day to see if I have heard from him. This also makes it hard when I have assured everyone once I do, THEY WILL KNOW!! 

Next weekend is my b-day, hoping to get a call  by then or within the weekend. 

Do we know how many are in this class? Have you made your room reservations yet and where abouts?

Thank you look to hear from you. 

Dusty's mom!!

Yeah another 941! My son Duncan, is with your son. I think I speak for all four or five of us that no one has heard a peep out of this group. Still waiting for a personal letter, maybe a phone call mid week? It seems that will be our 3 week period. Welcome.

Welcome Leora!  Yeah another 941 Mom! 

As cincymomdp said, we are also anxiously waiting to receive our first personal letter.  Please pray that we all get to hear from our son's this week.  I am leaving leaving for Las Vegas for my Scentsy Convention.....I am ready but not ready.  I just have a feeling that if we don't get to hear from him this week, I will miss the call next week, because he will call his Dad's phone, who will be home with our 3 yr. old.  So ladies lets root for our call this week!  :) 

 

Looking forward to keeping in touch with all of you!

We are going to stay at the Great Lakes Motel Thursday night.  It is a 1/2 mile away from the base and it has free shuttle service. 

 

Thursday night we are planning on attending the Meet & Greet @ Flanagan's Bar & Grill.  Looking forward to meeting other parent's.  Especially those of you that I have made contact with here on! :)   

We plan on maybe getting a suite or something a little nicer to go back to and hang out during Liberty on Friday evening and Saturday.

 

I am also wondering what ideas everyone is coming up with to do with their recruits during Liberty?  We've tossed around the idea of Six Flags...but not sure if that is such a good idea with him in his whites all day.  It would be hard to keep then clean on the rides. 

Theirs the zoo also.

this is our facebook group for division 941.  there is only 4 members on it.  if you are on facebook you can join this if you'd like. 

We talk on here also.

I asked to join the facebook group and no one has accepted my request. 

 

It's a pleasure to meet you all!!! I am praying as a WHOLE, we get the call!! I look at pics we had made before he left and it tears me up... 

I can't wait to meet our counter parts at graduation to see what they have been into all together!!! Also since they may be spending many more "togethers" in the coming days-to-years!! 

Take care and God's blessing on your week!!

Counting the day, 

Dusty's mom
